It's about the news agency Ria, the newspapers Izvestija and Rossijskaja Gazeta, as well as the TV channels Rossija-1, Pervyj Kanal and NTV, which have not been available since Sunday, according to several media outlets.

Moscow calls it "an act of censorship" while neither the EU nor Telegram has commented.

The systematic cleansing of all unwanted sources of information continues, says Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova.

Earlier, the EU has banned several media outlets within the union as part of a larger sanctions package due to the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
